Local singers are vying to be crowned Marshall County’s Ultimate Diva or Divo at Dueling Divas, Divos and Duets Saturday, November 16, at the Lee Dam Center for Fine Art, Marysville.

Each performer will sing a song either accompanied by a pianist, small combo or by a back-up track.  Once they have performed, audience members will determine the winner with their money — the contestant with the most donations will walk away with this year’s title.

The divas, divos and duets perform a show-stopping number that reflects their personality. 

The event has two acts.  The first act features the performances by the divas and divos.  During intermission, audience members vote for their favorite performer with their money.  The event is a fundraiser for the arts cooperative; the diva, divo or duet receiving the most monetary donations will be crowned the winner.

The second act opens with a performance by last year’s reigning Divo, Tanner Gustin.  He won the 2023 competition.
